http://s12.invisionfree.com/SW_Alt_History/index.php?act=idx (the off site forum)

I thought about this once so i'll need some help in clearing up a few things, oki the basic idea is that the Red robot that Luke buy's from the Jawa's never burst's into flames, R2 D2 is eventually smelted and the Death Star's plan goe's on unhindered, the Princess is never freed and Yavin is destroyed, the Rebel Alliance seem's to be all but lost, until that is an extremist Wookie group take control of the Death Star, they manage to get over Corusant and blow the Imperial hell hole to smithereen's, the Emporer is killed in the blast and Anarchy consumes the Empire, and now for the RPing bit, there are a few select sides as the following

Wookie Extremist's (Chewbacca) (Kashykk, Dagobah, Endor)
Republican Organa (Leia Organa) (Hoth, Naboo, Sullust)
Reformed Jedi Council (Luke Skywalker) (Mon-Calamari, Dantooine, Bothawui)
Vader's Sith Empire (Darth Vader) (Bakura, Bpfassh, Korriban)
Smugglers Union (Lando Calrissian) (Bespin, Kessel, Tatooine)
Imperial Ex-Army (Grand Admiral Thrawn) (Terran-1, Kuat, Eriadu)
Droid Confederacy (IG-88) (Geonosis, Mustafar, Nemoidia)
The New Empire (Admiral Daala) (The Maw Installation, Correllia, Thyferra)

Those in Bold have been taken

Other Worlds can be found here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planets_of_Star_Wars)

1. No Godmodding
2. No Planet Destroying Superlaser's
3. Each faction is limited to 3 Jedi/Sith
4. No main characters other than the ones mentioned
5. Only Star War's tech
6. Other Planet's must be RP'd to be taken
7. 1 Non Star Wars planet can be allowed with permission
8. Non Taken Planet's must have someone RP the resistance
9. One small scale Superlaser is allowed per Faction

(more to come)

so any comments, ideas or suggestions please :p

OOC: If Princess Leia is never freed, how does the Empire know the Rebel base is on Yavin? They only find out by tracking the Millennium Falcon, and it's stated several times that Leia would never tell them voluntary.

The Maw Installation
Correllia
Fondor (pretty obscure, so the following quote from answers.com)

Fondor is a Mid Rim world famous for its orbital shipyards. Darth Vader's Executor-class Super Star Destroyer was constructed over Fondor. The planet became a target during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, though a blast from Centerpoint Station destroyed a portion of the enemy fleet, saving Fondor at the cost of the Hapan war fleet also caught in the blast. Fondor continued to supply the Galactic Alliance with starships in the war.

Admiral Daala, The New Empire.
Do you get what forces would normally be at your places when you start, like Kuat would have a fleet of Star Destroyers and Mon Calamari would have lots of MC 80 Cruisers. When you say no superlasers, does that include ones that can't destroy planets like that on the Eclispe or Sovereign?
Kaduna
10-07-2005, 22:12
hmm good question, i'm gonna say that for RPing your pop use your Nations Pop, for Fleet's it depends, i'll work out a way to calculate fleets don't worry.

EDIT: only planet destruction is illegal
Scellia
10-07-2005, 22:15
Hmm, is it too late to change one planet, I just realized one planet that really needs to be claimed. Can I trade Fondor for Thyferra?

So we aren't doing an actual alternate history if we use any of our nations stats are we, could you explain a little more how this works if we are using our nations instead of the SW places.
Kaduna
10-07-2005, 22:20
oki cos i know everyone in real life isn't a Star Wars nut who knows everything and anything (i know i'm not) to do with Star Wars so population for Star Wars planets would be so very difficult to find out, so a simple answer is just to use the nations pop, i know this will be a downer for any of the smaller nations but it comes at a price.

but in SW terms it is merely due to the chaos caused after the Empire fell, it would result in mass migration causing some planets to grow in population and others to shrink, therfore the pop would be undeterminable.
Scellia
10-07-2005, 22:25
OK, another question. Is planetary destruction not allowed or superlasers, or both. Did didn't check if you changed it, but is it alright if I claim Thyferra.
Kaduna
10-07-2005, 22:34
Thyferra is yours, plus all Superlasers that can destroy planets are illegal, Small scale Superlasers are allowed but only 1 at any time.

Stardestroyer.net Descriptions (http://www.stardestroyer.net/Empire/Tech/Special/Special2.html), most if not all of them were developed at the Maw facility along with the Death Star. Based on your rulings there is currently a Death Star prototype and a Sun Crusher at the Maw, though as GM you may change that. The DS prototype doesn't have a full power laser, and is only the superstructure without the rest of the hull. Ref. Jedi Academy Trilogy. The Maw Installation was completely cut off from the rest of the galaxy, so nothing that transpired outside was know inside until Han Solo and Kyp Durron went in. In this alt history Admiral Daala looks around and decides to seize Thyferra(because of bacta) and Correllia(because of shipyards/Centerpoint).

*Feels a burst of honest coming on, can't resist*
Nooooooooo,

Fine, since you're banning superweapons and declared the World Devastators too powerful then you have to ban the Centerpoint Station. It is more powerful then the Death Star and Galaxy Gun, combined and could destory either of them easily. It can cause stars to go nova or supernova just like the Sun Crusher but without the having to be there part. In fact the Centerpoint Station is the most powerful of the weapons listed, but can I have at least one World Devastator. They're the weakest of the ships that can destroy planets of ones listed.
Basque Spain
11-07-2005, 00:34
deal. If someone captures kimoania (you know the cloning planet in II) do you get to control of the cloning facilities there.

also, can you use Bounty Hunter even the ones in the movie.
Kaduna
11-07-2005, 00:35
huh, and i though that the Centerpoint just moved things round, ah well, 1 of any of those superweapons only if so then no other superweapons.
Kaduna
11-07-2005, 00:51
who'd of thunk doing an alternative Star Wars RP would be so difficult, oki on bounty hunters and fleets:

money revolves taxing, the amount of tax you set on your nation determines the amount of Credits you recieve, as is on the folowing

0%= 0 Cr
25%= 20,000 Cr
50%= 40,000 Cr
75%= 60,000 Cr (wartime)
100%= 80,000 Cr

at wartime your tax rate will always be 75% unless it is already higher, bear in mind if you sustain a high tax rate for a long period of time then you will have riots on your hands it is of course inevitable, each planet produces a revenue and can be taxed seperatly from the others.

Fleet's

Small Vessels (such as medium transports and Imperial transports) 10,000 Cr
Medium Vessels (such as Victory class star destroyers and Corvettes) 30,000 Cr
Large Vessels (such as Imperial class star destroyers and Mon Calamari Cruisers) 50,000 Cr
Heavy Vessels (such as Super star destroyers and Bulwark cruisers) 80,000 Cr
Super Vessels (such as World devastators and Centerpoint station) 100,000 Cr

Fighters (in sets of 100)

Small (such as Y-wings and Tie Fighters) 10,000 Cr
Medium (such as X-wings and Tie Advanced) 20,000 Cr
Large (such as B-Wings and Tie Bombers) 40,000 Cr
Heavy (Such as A-Wings and Tie-D) 60,000 Cr

if you are unsure of a vessels placement then ask me

Bounty Hunters are not allowed as most have joined up with the Smugglers

they would not have a place that could supply them with clones and so they would only have the existing clones that they have made. They would then have to recruit people to fight for them and then they would slowly lose support of the people. SO, this would be a very important aquistion by the Rep. Organa

I suppose we must assume that Grand Moff Tarkin perished at the hands of the wookies, considering that Admiral Daala was loyal to him. Also, she would have a hard time gaining the respect of her fellow Imperials, taking into consideration that, while she was a skilled tactician, she only had her position of Admiral because she was Tarkin’s mistress.

I suppose though, that any high ranking military officials left would have either been on Corusant, The Death Star, or in the service of Darth Vader, thus leaving her as the only possible leader left.

You did say that there could be no main characters other the ones mentioned. I hope you are not including Admiral Ozzel, General Veers and Captain (later Admiral) Piett in that catergory, as they are noted members of the fleet under Vader’s command.

Never signed up
Shipwrecked
etc
Undelia
11-07-2005, 16:28
Well, after some quick research and thinking.

Ozzel would probably have gotten what was coming to him quicker, thus the choking.
We can assume that the Accuser the ship that Admiral Piett was in command of within Darth Vader’s fleet was lost/deserted, because I assume the pretty much all of the Imperial fleet are gone at this point.
As for Veers, he was on the Death Star when it blew up on the traditional timeline, but escaped in a shuttle. We can assume the wookies ripped him to shreds.

-Princess Leia Organa is rescued be Rebel Commandos. Vader interrogates one that does not escape. He reveals the location of the Rebel base at Yavin.

-Yavin is destroyed by Grand Moff Tarkin.

- Chewbacca, moved by the plight of his enslaved brethren on a smuggling run to Kashykk organizes a resistance effort. After much fighting pushes out the Empire.

- Obi-Wan senses destruction of Alderan and begins training Luke.

-Grand Moff Tarkin arrives at Kashykk and threatens to destroy the planet if the wookies do not surrender. Han Solo and Chewbacca feign capture aboard the Millennium Falcon. They are able to shut down the Death Star’s exterior defenses, but not before Solo meets his death at the Force grip of Darth Vader. Within the hour thousands of wookies board the Death Star and begin slaughtering Imperial troops, including Grand Moff Tarkin and his command crew. Many officers and storm troopers surrender, pledging their service to the wookies. Chewbacca is made High Chief of all the tribes of Kashykk. Darth Vader narrowly escapes in a shuttle which make a blind jump into hyper space.

-IG-88 brakes free of his programming limitations and begins spreading his independent thought processing virus to other droids on Mustafar, where he was previously deployed as a body guard. The droids take over the technology reliant planet in mere weeks. The Empire is too distracted to do anything about it.

-Leia Organa takes control of the Rebel Alliance and heads to Hoth.

What do you think, so far?

so any comments, ideas or suggestions please :p

One comment: sorry to burst your bubble, but while I'm not saying that you can't write whatever you want, this could never happen. I'll explain, "faction by faction."

How exactly could this "Wookie Extremist" group get on the death star, much less take it over? They're all enslaved by the Trandoshans on their homeworld! That being said, why would they even have to be extremists, all wookies hate the empire...and also...why wouldn't the Empire just shoot down the death star before it makes its way to corescant? So many inconsistancies here...my head's spinning.

Leia's Republic? Leia would die if she wasn't saved by Luke, and since Luke never got the message, Leia was probably killed because she wouldn't give info. Even if for some godforsaken reason the wookies did what you say they would do, the Empire would still kill Leia, possibly seeing it as some sort of rescue.

Luke's Jedi Council? This is by far the WORST idea of them all. Luke wouldn't be a Jedi! Luke only found Obi-wan because R2-D2 led him there. Luke would have been killed with his aunt and uncle by stormtroopers. Even if Luke did survive and somehow become a Jedi (this COULD NOT happen...but still) he would be the only one! A Luke, Obi-Wan, and Yoda council (although yoda would soon die because he's old) wouldn't be much!

Vader's Sith Empire? I thought you said the Empire was in anarchy? Wouldn't Vader just assume the throne and search for a dark apprentice? Perhaps Luke if he isn't dead yet?

Smuggler's Union? Oh...not Lando... *cowers in fear* Besides, Jabba would have killed Han Solo, and Lando doesn't have the Falcon.

Imperial Ex-Army? Um...they'd still be with Vader...

Droid Confederacy? The droids are dead, but even if they aren't, IG-88 is. He got owned by Dash Rendar, and still would have regardless of Luke.

The New Empire? How many Empires do you have here? No, there would be one. If the Death Star killed the capital and Sidious, Vader would gather his fleet, destroy the Death Star (it went down kinda easy) and then assume control of the Empire. There would be no three different empires running around.

Your story is so flawed its disgusting. Now, if you want to continue, be my guest, but it makes absolutely NO SENSE AT ALL. Have a nice day.

- Darth Vader’s shuttle emerges from Hyperspace at Dagobah. A wookie controlled Victory Class Star Destroyer commanded by Chewbacca seeking revenge for Solo’s death, is not far behind. Vader’s shuttle lands on the surface of the planet, carrying only a minimal crew. Chewbacca and a band of wookies land nearby and begin combing the swamp for Vader. The furry creatures take a liking to the planet and decide to mark it for colonization. They encounter Yoda, and Chewbacca remembers his old Jedi friend. The manhunt for Vader continues, even as the Dark Lord of the Sith stumbles upon the tomb of the last Bpfasshi Dark Jedi, where secrets of the old Sith order were made clear to him by the specter of the long dead Dark Side user. Vader immediately flees the planet and heads for Korriban. Yoda decides his time on Dagobah has ended and leaves with Chewbacca.

-Wookie technician working on the Death Star discover plans for a second Death Star at Endor. Chewbacca’s Star Destroyer (now called the Han) meets the Death Star at this newly established construction sight. Easily defeating the small Imperial detachment, the wookies find the Ewoks agreeable and mark the Fourth moon of Endor for colonization.

-Leia Organa quietly extends Rebel operations to Sullust.

-IG-88’s virus infects Nemoidian droidships scheduled to deliver fuel to Nemoidia. Within a number of weeks, droids control the homeworld of the Nemoidians.

- Luke Skywalker’s aunt and uncle die of natural causes. Luke sells the family farm and most of his possessions. He and Obi-Wan travel to Dantooine, where they begin conducting an excavation of the long buried Jedi Temple there.

-Darth Vader arrives at Korriban and begins delving into the ways of the ancient Sith.

I was just wandering if you wanted to be an Admin?

Sure.

@Steel Butterfly, we are in the process of explaining how all this goes down. Also note, there was more than one IG-88, the Empire is filled with power hungry people ready to seize power, Luke knew Obi-Wan before Episode IV, and all the other stuff you said wouldn’t have happened.

How exactly could this "Wookie Extremist" group get on the death star, much less take it over? They're all enslaved by the Trandoshans on their homeworld! That being said, why would they even have to be extremists, all wookies hate the empire...and also...why wouldn't the Empire just shoot down the death star before it makes its way to corescant? So many inconsistancies here...my head's spinning.

Please read the reformed timeline above , as for the Empire not detroying it, well the Empires fighters are, to put it nicely, shit

Leia's Republic? Leia would die if she wasn't saved by Luke, and since Luke never got the message, Leia was probably killed because she wouldn't give info. Even if for some godforsaken reason the wookies did what you say they would do, the Empire would still kill Leia, possibly seeing it as some sort of rescue.

Rebel Commandoes came in and rescued Leia before the Wookies came, as mentioned in the above reformed timeline

Luke's Jedi Council? This is by far the WORST idea of them all. Luke wouldn't be a Jedi! Luke only found Obi-wan because R2-D2 led him there. Luke would have been killed with his aunt and uncle by stormtroopers. Even if Luke did survive and somehow become a Jedi (this COULD NOT happen...but still) he would be the only one! A Luke, Obi-Wan, and Yoda council (although yoda would soon die because he's old) wouldn't be much!

but whats stopping Obi Wan finding Luke? Thats right nothing, as mentioned in above reformed timeline Obi Wan finds Luke after realising that Alderaan was destroyed

Vader's Sith Empire? I thought you said the Empire was in anarchy? Wouldn't Vader just assume the throne and search for a dark apprentice? Perhaps Luke if he isn't dead yet?

the Empire is in anarchy, yes Vader could take the throne if it hadn't been eviscerated by the Death Star, Vader has started a faction attempting to rebuild the Empire in HIS name

Smuggler's Union? Oh...not Lando... *cowers in fear* Besides, Jabba would have killed Han Solo, and Lando doesn't have the Falcon.

yes Lando, he has a steady income from Bespin and a quite considerable reputation, so what if he doesn't have the Falcon, yes Jabba would have killed Han if Han hadn't already died on the Death star (see above reformed timeline)

Imperial Ex-Army? Um...they'd still be with Vader...

remember the scene from the first film in the War room when one of the officers claims that the Force is useless, not everyone in the Empire fears the Force, so why, WHY would they join Vader?

Droid Confederacy? The droids are dead, but even if they aren't, IG-88 is. He got owned by Dash Rendar, and still would have regardless of Luke.

IG-88 may have died in the Star War's universe but not this one, as is above in the reformed time line, also who says it's the original bots? It could be a new army

The New Empire? How many Empires do you have here? No, there would be one. If the Death Star killed the capital and Sidious, Vader would gather his fleet, destroy the Death Star (it went down kinda easy) and then assume control of the Empire. There would be no three different empires running around.

what about those secret Imperial forces in the Maw? They would not be influenced by Vader

All you've displayed in your lack of knowledge about how people act and think and that you love your idea too much to see how ridiculous it sounds. Still, as I've said, no one can stop you from writing this...so go ahead...

There is one blaring problem amist all the new problems you've presented in your response however: why, WHY would they be under the Emperor in the first place? If you say that him being the dark lord of the sith doesn't matter, which it does, he's still the default leader. Vader's still the second in command, regardless of the fact that he's a sith.

You're making the characters of the SW universe act how you want them to, not how the characters themselves would act or how people in real life act. The realistic value of this story is zero, and if readers cannot relate to the story's characters, as what happens often in stories such as these, then the story flops.

1. Just because you give it an explanation doesn't automatically make it make sense...

2. When have you seen, outside of the Sith, that the Empire is power hungry and ready to seize power? They all seem scared shitless of being choked to death by Vader.

3. Luke didn't know Obi-Wan before Episode IV. He couldn't remember Obi-Wan from when he was a newborn, and he didn't have a reason or desire to visit "crazy old Ben."

4. And way to sum up everything else that you can't defend in your last sentence.

Actually, you are wrong. It doesn’t matter who the Dark Lord of the Sith is. The Dark Lord after Palpatine (a women I forgot her name) had very little power, while the military basically took over the Imperial remnant which fractured into several competing warlords. They follow the Emperor, not because he is the Dark Lord of the Sith, but because he is the Emperor. Also, Darth Vader was not regarded as the de facto second in command until after the event in “Shadows of the Empire” which will never take place on this time line.

-The Empire amasses its forces at Corusant. In order to strike the wookie threat as hard as possible. All the ships from the vast Imperial Navy assemble at the capital planet. All except for a Star Destroyers at Maw Station, one at Vice-Admiral Thrawn’s outbound station on the tiny world of Terran- 1, and the Executor, which mysteriously disobeys orders and heads for Korriban.

- The wookie fleet, having cracked Imperial codes thanks to the traitors, know of the impeding attack. The Death Star heads for Corusant.

-Geonosis droid technicians, invent a “vaccine” for IG-88’s virus. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work on already infected droids. IG-88 leads a direct assault on Geonosis, utilizing his makeshift droid army, and several stolen merchant vessels. He is unable to stop the vaccine from being shipped off world, but the cunning droid takes control of one of the many now-abandoned droid factories, and begins mass producing a real droid army. The planet falls under his control in a very short amount of time. IG-88 declares the birth of The Droid Confederacy.

- The Death Star comes out of hyperspace in Corusant space and immediately all Imperial ships begin firing on it. Chewbacca panics and orders the Death Star to fire on the Imperial fleet from aboard the bridge of the Han. Within minutes the Death Star fires blindly into the enemy fleet, and hits Corusant. The blast and debris not only snuff out the existence of countless beings on the planet’s surface, but obliterates the fleet surrounding the capital. The pieces of destroyed space ships slam into the Death Star, causing massive damage to the already damaged space station. It explodes, badly damaging the Han in the process. The damaged battle ship then jumps to light speed and limps back to Kashykk, with a mournful Chewbacca and Yoda on board.

-Many planets collapse into rebellion. Most dispose of their regional governor. Entrepreneur Lando Calrissian takes advantage of the situation by organizing the hutts of Tantooine, and the revolting miners on Kessel into the Smuggler’s Union, a federation of sorts to protect the economic interests of the parties involved.

- Obi-Wan Kenobi announces the formation of a new Jedi order, to be based in the newly excavated Jedi enclave. Surprisingly, the revolting planet of Dantooine looks to the new order for leadership. Saying “I’m to old for this sort of thing,” Obi-Wan retains his status as head of the Jedi Order, but a Senate is set up to officially rule. To appease the people of Dantooine, Luke Skywalker is made Chief of State. The nearby planets of Mon-Calamari and Bothawui quickly rush to join this new affiliation to stand as a common defense against the anarchy that was developing elsewhere. This Jedi influenced republic was named Planets Under the Protection of The Reformed Jedi Council, or just the Jedi Council for short.

-Another to take advantage of the chaos was Leia Organa who declared the birth of a New Republic. At the behest of the people of this new republic, Leia reluctantly lent her name to the new faction. It would be called The Republican Organa, or simply the Republic. The democracy loving people of Naboo quickly joined, hoping to someday realize the glory of The Old Republic.

-The Executor never made it to Korriban. As to why, no one knows. But regardless, Darth Vader, confident in his new knowledge of the Dark Side, declared himself the new Dark Lord of the Sith and announced a new empire, Vader’s Sith Empire. Within days, Bpfassh, with its Dark Side past, declared fealty to this new Empire. Also, the planet of Bakura, desperate to find an ally, swore fealty to the Dark Lord.

-On the edge of the Galaxy, Vice-Admiral Thrawn revealed his secret promotion to Grand Admiral and departed Terran-1 for Kuat where he used his connections with the ship-building industry to effectively seize control of the planet. Tarkin’s homeworld of Eriadu soon followed suit, declaring allegiance to the Grand Admiral. Thrawn then declared that his holdings were no longer part of the Empire, but of its military only. Thus was born The Imperial Ex-Military.

-From the Maw Installation Admiral Daala received the news of what was going on throughout the Galaxy. Moving quickly, she secured the Bacta producing planet of Thyferra and the trade planet Correllia. Both were too week after revolting against the Empire to resist. Admiral Daala then officially declared the birth of The New Empire.

Alright. Done with the timeline. Kaduna, what do you think about changing the rules for the Sith Empire and The Jedi Council so that they can have as many Jedi as they can pay for, just only three masters, considering that these factions are effectively based arounf Force Users. In fact, we should probably try to think of a special way in which each faction can “break the rules” so to speak. For instance, the Droid Confederacy require neither food nor water, and do not feel pain.

That ship was supposed to be the Emperors personal escape vehicle, kept ready at all times. It might be fun to have a random SSD out there, you could choose an unclaimed system and if someone attacks that system they find Isard. She can't be at Thyferra since I have that, but that way later on in the game when neutrals become scarce a rash move could bring an SSD down on you.

I guess we can say the Lasynka escaped, however, the Executor is already out there somewhere. I can’t seem to come up with a way that it would have been destroyed. Perhaps both of those ships could be involved with an event down the rode dealing with The Reborn Emperor. His clones are still out there somewhere. I forgot what planet they are on, though.
